~WHAT THEY SAY~
About the book:
After
losing everyone she loves, concert pianist Liesl Bower has nowhere to
go but to escape into her music. Searching for the peace she usually
finds in her concertos and sonatas, Liesl can’t shake the feeling that
she is being haunted by her past . . . and by someone following her.
When she spots a familiar and eerie face in the audience of a concert
she’s giving for the president in Washington, DC, the scariest day of
her life comes back to her with a flash. It has been fifteen years since
Liesl watched her beloved Harvard music mentor assaulted on a dark
night in Moscow and just as long since the CIA disclosed to her that
he’d been spying for Russia. She had seen that man--that eerie face--the
night Professor Devoe was attacked. And now he’s back--and coming for
her.
On the run and struggling to rely on the
protection of CIA agent Ava Mullins and handsome newspaper reporter Cade
O’Brien, Liesl learns she is the prey of an underground cell of Russian
KGB agents determined to restore their country to its former Soviet
might. But what she doesn’t know is that she is in possession of
something--a piece of sheet music--that Russian intelligence is now
frantic to find. Inside that music is a secret code, the hidden
transcriptions of her deceased mentor, that clearly identify a Russian
mole operating inside Israel’s Department of Defense, a mole with enough
power and access to execute a daring assassination that no one would
see coming.
Caught in a deadly conflict between
American and Russian undercover agents, this innocent young pianist is
just trying to survive her own personal trauma. Through it all, Liesl
must learn that no matter how dark her world grows or how fiercely her
enemies pursue her, God is still in control--if only she can yield
herself to His grace. Read an excerpt here: http://www.sueduffybooks.com/#!vstc1=books
~MY TAKE ON IT~
I'm not big into political things so I really didn't think I would enjoy this book. I read it in one day! You CAN mix politics and religion and it makes a great read!
Liesl, an amazing young pianist and Max, a very good violinist, and good friend of Liesl's. They accompany their Harvard music professor, Dr. Devoe, to Russia. Max gets into some legal trouble for being unruly in public and the professor comes to their rescue. He takes them to a dinner with him and they hear some things they shouldn't have.
Liesl and Max go their separate ways over the years. Liesl witnesses the murder of her professor and flees the scene. Unknowingly she has some very important information many are looking for. She doesn't think anything of it for some time. She had put the past behind her. The professor's wife passes away and the Russians are tracking her once again. The adventure begins! Some parts of the story totally surprised me. One of the "bad" guys wasn't who I thought it would be.
I love a story where God is just working in the background/behind the scenes and the main character finally realizes it at the end of their ordeal and totally gives their life to God. It's always nice when they find their true love when they have been through so much that they think they will never love again. I can't wait to read the next installment of this story!
